Re: Racer X - Phoenix AZ Audio?

Awesome boot. Can't wait to hear the rest of it. But somebody has their dates wrong. Paul said the trip to Arizona took place in the summer of 1986. This guy has the show taking place in February of 1987.

Re: Racer X - Phoenix AZ Audio?

Howdy Racer X fansI am the one who posted the Mason Jar recording of "Into The Night" and am quite pleased at how it has been received(never know how something like this will fly)Ok there have been some questions as to the date. The Feb 87 date is a guess based on the band I mixed on the flipside of the tape was dated Feb 87 so I assumed this was Mixed somewhere around that time but it could have been any other time even 86. These tapes were re-recorded over many times as i recorded every band that played at the Jar and only kept the ones that i deemed good enough to keep those got tossed into a box and there they have set for 25, 26 years.I have recently retired from the Biz and am in the process of editing all of the shows i have recorded over the years and just happen to start with all of the Mason Jar stuff.Ok back to the date according to Paul's story they loaded up a van with their gear and drove sitting on Amp heads and drum casesto Phx and this i am sure happen but they must have done at least one more show in Phx at the Jar because in one of the breaks between songs on this show Jeff thanks Surgical Steel for the loan of their gear so racer X wouldn't have to bring theirs.Now this could be that steel supplied speaker boxes and X only had to bring heads and drums OR this was an entirely different show.I really don't know as i was just the house guy at the Jar and was not in on that info.I am hoping someone here can shed some light on this because i want to get the accurate date on this if possible.I didn't take over as full time House Eng till Jan 1987 but Myself and Nino Notaro (RIP) filled in for Jeff Hawk who was the Eng in 1986 many times during 86 when he had other gigs so there is a very good chance this is the 86 show i do know based on this show they were tossing out Street Lethal records and were selling them at the club that night so it was probably right around the release of that record.Anyway i should have the rest of this show edited and ready to post in a week or so.

Re: Racer X - Phoenix AZ Audio?

Hi Joe!

Well, thanks again for the track (and now for the inside info!)

My suggestion would be to e-mail Paul. I know he'd be pleased to answer an old time RX question like that!

and yes i know the 2nd guitar is buried in the mix (as some have noted) I am saddened by this as I edit this show. I can only guess the mic died and i didn't catch it or i just blew it. Sorry these things happen.I have tried in places to pull it up but with a 2 track mix it's tough to do without affecting other stuff.

Okay, now it makes sense how we can only hear Paul, but what I still don't understand is that when Bruce joined Racer X..he wrote a new part for the first half of the solo for "Into The Night". I swear is sounds like Paul is doing the whole solo to that song in this show.

Re: Racer X - Phoenix AZ Audio?

It is all Paul. I could not find a way to pull up the 2nd guitar (Bruce) as the only way I can do it is when just the 2nd guitar is playingwithout Paul playing and then i can only do it by selecting the freq range the guitar is in and kicking those freq's up a few DB but not enough to adversely affect other stuff in that freq range.Ahhh the pitfalls to 2 track editing.listen to On The Loose and you can hear that I have bumped up the 2nd guitar at the beginning it's a bit thin as I'm uping a weak signal but it is way better that the guitar hardly being heard. It took the better part of an hour to get the guitars sort of at the same levelthrough the beginning as they are trading off. The raw version was not even listenable.

There are a couple new tracks up Street Lethal and Bowie's cover of Moonage Daydream.

Nope, only Ken can do that.

There are new ones up, by the way. I saw them when they got posted but I thought he'd reply here. So anyway:

Sorry I was going to post the new tracks but got involved in another project and never got to it.I still have 7 tracks to finish and upload and plan to get back to the Racer X material very soon.I switch up stuff so as to keep the ears fresh and take a couple days off each week to give em a break.

will post links as soon as I get more done.

Thank you all for your kind responses.

BTW I received an email from the webmaster inquiring as to getting this whole show sent to him to post on this site i have responded to him in the affirmative just waiting for him to send me an address where i can send the disc.
